Including the lines:

Finland, Finland, Finland,
The country where I quite want to be,
Your mountains so lofty,
Your treetops so tall.
Finland, Finland, Finland.
Finland has it all.

Which sounds splendid, but your hosts might not be so pleased with the verse that goes:

You’re so sadly neglected
And often ignored,
A poor second to Belgium,
When going abroad.

Blame Michael Palin.

Finland’s language policies are well worth attention. They have a Swedish minority of only about 6% of the population but there is a legislative basis for a much wider use of Finnish/Swedish in the private sector than is the case here in Wales. The Uusimaa bridgade of the Finnish defence forces has Swedish as its language of training (Finnish is still the language of command – I know you have blogged on Adam Price’s idea of some use of Welsh in the British Army in the past). (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uusimaa_Brigade)

While neither of these things might instinctively appeal to you, I wonder whether there is anything we can take from the example of Finland to strengthen the position of Welsh in a consensual, non-threatening way?
